[Jobs] "Work-At-Home Scams Just Don't Pay"

Here are five definitions for a pyramid scheme:
• A pyramid scheme is a system of selling goods where commissions are paid 
to recruit new sellers. The commissions are based on the number of sellers 
recruited.
The right to sell the goods is sold to an increasing number of sellers at 
lower and lower levels.
• An illegal financial scheme in which: (1) participants are recruited by 
chain letter, by friends, or at meetings, (2) a list of n names is displayed 
or
distributed (often sold) to new participants, and (3) the payment of an 
"ante" to the top name on the list by new participants is notarized or 
supervised.
Developed from money chain letters in May 1935. See Springfield5.
• When the organizers of the scheme use the assets of new investors to make 
profit payments to the old investors. The scheme typically has no other 
source
of revenue other than from the new investors. Pyramid schemes, often called 
ponzi schemes, progress geometrically until they reach the point that the 
operators
cannot find enough recruits (victims) to continue the payout. ...
• a fraudulent scheme in which people are recruited to make payments to the 
person who recruited them while expecting to receive payments from the 
persons
they recruit; when the number of new recruits fails to sustain the 
hierarchical payment structure the scheme collapses with most of the 
participants losing
the money they put in
• A pyramid scheme is a non-sustainable business model that involves the 
exchange of money primarily for enrolling other people into the scheme, 
usually
without any product or service being delivered. Pyramid schemes have been in 
existence for at least a century. ...
as you can see, by these definitions if you actually take the time to read 
my site, and everything it has to offer, we do not use pyramid schemes.
